Making sure that you are well hydrated will help you avoid grabbing extra treats to make the grumble go away. If you are a soda or coffee drinker, try to alternate those drinks with a glass of water throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Eat Regular Healthy Meals to Avoid Temptation<\/strong><br \/>\nWe\u2019ve all experienced the extreme hunger that make us settle for anything that will fill us up. This can be trouble when there are lots of holiday snacks and candy everywhere you look. Making sure you stick to a regular eating schedule with healthy, well-balanced meals will help you avoid grabbing whatever crosses your path.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Selective Splurging<\/strong><br \/>\nYou know that I\u2019m all about moderation so I\u2019m not going to tell you that you can\u2019t enjoy holiday treats. I am going to tell you that you need to be selective. For instance, if you don\u2019t like lemon bars, then pass on the lemon bars and save your splurge for a delicious brownie instead!<\/p>\n<p>Now, of course, I\u2019m going to say you have to fit in those workouts but I\u2019m going to be honest with you. If you have to pick between focusing on diet or exercise for the holiday season &#8211; focus on DIET! Chances are you\u2019ll be running around shopping, running errands and wrapping gifts and burning calories so as long as you aren\u2019t pairing those activities with high calorie drinks and fast food, you will be OK.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few tips on how to stop holiday weight gain before it even starts.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"health and fitness tips and exercise videos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.withamymac.com\"><em>www.WithAmyMac.com\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The junk food holiday season starts with Halloween and runs through New Year\u2019s.
